I'm being honest man. It was good, but after watching some of the videos I've noticed, some of us aren't giving enough emotion in our lines. I will say though, the jokes are still good.

To Viewers:
I know, I'm horrible at voice acting right now, that's my first line in the series, but I should be getting more lines soon for upcoming flash.

So true Kai.
Practice makes perfect - I've been voicing Val for 2 years - shit takes time.
Your comments in this review proove that your determined to become a better voice actor which I'm sure not only I but, others like and approve of.

"I like the duders"

But here's what you should do. OVERHAUL THE SHOW! It's a pain in the ass but it will help. Re do the character designs, add nice shades , make it look like a work of art. Once your done with that, fiddle around with it and work out animating it better. The lip sync and the body movement. Get inspired by a really a good cartoon and do it. Good Luck

Author's Response:

I've re-designed the style twice and rewrote the main story of it over 15 already. :C
NO! The Duders stay as they are - well not forever obviously though... I'm tryin' to make each one better then the last.
I'll try sneakin' in more shading thanks.

I agree, the animation is quite good, and the voices are interesting. The last guy is right, though, the acting leaves something to be desired. The voices are pretty flat throughout, for all the characters. That might be a function of the mike, but I think it's because you tried to do the whole thing as deadpan humor. That's ok, but the characters still have to get into what's going on in their lives, otherwise they just seem blah. Also, you could work a bit on your comic timing. For example, it probably would have been funnier if redbeard had caught some other part of his body unintentionally on fire, or if the other dude had raised the whole roasting marshmallows thing a little earlier.

Author's Response:

Thanks for the advice. I'll screw around with timing more and see if it really is the mic or the voice acting.
